Sorry it has taken a couple of days to get back to you.
Firstly, regarding our other titles, I prefer not to mix them up with the yachting book. Mostly they are free distribution publications targeted at Phuket visitors/tourists. Two very different markets and I think trying to do one brand app for them all would confuse the primary target market. We do have one book – a street directory of Phuket which is much more accurate and informative than Google Maps – that I want to explore making into a digital navigation offering, but I will come back to that in another email.
So, back to the yachting book. How do we move forwards with that? Certainly I am interested in the digital bookstores too. Can you tell me more?
Re the brand app, sorry if my questions are naïve; although I’ve been working in print and web publishing in Thailand for 17 years, this is my first move into e-books/apps etc. When you say, “For the brand app, there is app submission and MA of THB15,000/year/platform.” Could you explain how that works. I’m not familiar with the term “MA”. It would be helpful if you could itemise the charges I should expect to pay for the following:
1 x brand app with 9 books included for iPad, Android and recommended bookstores. I will provide pdf layouts according to your specification.
Many thanks and I look forward to hearing back from you.
